Another Change

We definitely were planning/trying for a baby, but it was a bit overwhelming how it all happened literally at the same time! I was adjusting to my new routine of getting up and going to a 9-5 again while battling morning (ALL DAY!) sickness. Luckily, I had both Zofran and Erin (owner of Isabella, who was very supportive). But as I have mentioned before, I had little time/energy to do anything else... which can explain my blog hiatus!

I'm finally getting back into the swing of things and feeling better, but I haven't quite mastered the art of regular blog posting AND working full time. But I'll get there!

And somewhat related to interior design, I cannot WAIT to decorate the nursery!! Our kitchen is almost finished, and this will be my next (and probably final) project in this house:

It's pretty much a blank slate... I bought the glider YEARS ago when Crate & Barrel had it on major clearance. I'm glad I have that purchase out of the way ;) This room had the ugliest 80's wallpaper ever, and we've already peeled it off. So now we just need to find out the sex, and I can get going! :)

Thanks again for sticking around while I've been going through these crazy life transitions... I think I'm on the upswing now :) Life is good, and we are SOOOOOOOO happy & excited about this baby!

I've never commented before, but just wanted to say congrats! I feel like the whole world is pregnant now- or maybe it's just my own self absorption. But you and Sherry from YHL in April, and I'm due in May... basically I completely get your whole morning sickness/can't do anything all day long thing. Glad you're feeling better, and good luck with the next couple of months!

Congrats Bryn! Hope you're feeling better... enjoy decorating the nursery, it will be fab. If you haven't already visited Shower me with Love and Magic Windows here in Charlotte, I highly recommend. Both of those places made me SO excited as I was in the throws of preparing/nesting for baby.

Congratulations!! I'm so happy for you - what a fun announcement! Can't wait to follow along with the nursery transformation. Hope you fall into a routine and things get a little easier over the next few weeks - congrats again!

Congrats Bryn! I've been following along since the Nest days, and it's so great to see everyone's expanding families. We are due with our first in March, and it's such a crazy experience. Best wishes for a happy and healthy pregnancy!

I knew it!!!! ;) I have actually been waiting for this...so knew it! I quit blogging when I got pregnant with my second...just couldn't get it together. Anyway, I have followed your blog since the beginning...seems like so long ago now...back when blogging was soooo different. :) This is such an exciting time!! Congratulations!!

Congratulations!! That is such happy news. You two are going to make wonderful parents. I just had my first baby in July, and it is seriously the best. While it's hard work, it's even better than I thought it would be. I am just so happy for you guys!

I've never commented before either but I follow along daily, so I feel a big Congratulations is in order! I too had all day sickness until 16 weeks and had to take Zofran, although it's side effects are no picnic either. Looking forward to seeing what you come up with for the nursery, and later on I'm sure, decorating with kids in mind!

While I don't have that excuse anymore for lack of blog posting…I can certainly relate! There are times in all of our lives that dictate otherwise! Congrats on your little one! This is such an exciting time!

Hi! That's such great news, Congratulations!! What is happening to you, happened to me about nine months ago, though I have not blogged about it till just recently...Thinks fall into place as they are meant to! I did not live by these words prior to getting pregnant, but now more than ever I am a believer :) If you are looking for girly inspiration, feel free to come take a look at my Nursery post a few days back! Good luck with everything, hope you will continue to feel better :)

Congratulations Bryn & Matt! I know your Mom is over the moon! Remember to eat small amounts all the time and the nausea will go away (don't worry about the weight gain). I don't know how you can function through Zofran! Take care - Sue Beck

So excited for y'all. Congrats! And perfect find on the glider. You were smart to snatch that up. Now if only I could talk you into letting the sex be a surprise! I'm serious... it's the most fun ever and you should consider it!
